-We reviewed the action items from the previous two meetings. We discussed the framework for the BIDS community slides and how this information can be formatted and designed for future extensions and derived versions. We will draft an approach for organizing BIDS related meetings to pilot at NRM and OHBM in June.

 ## Executive Summary
 
-We discussed how to move forward with implementing the author lists on [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org/record/3686062) from our pdf specification. We want to provide guidance on how we landed on our decision: a single author “BIDS Contributing Group”. This will be opened as a proposal with a request for comments (RFC) on the [BIDS-Specification repository](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification). This is important to deploy with the community’s approval. This may give way for a stronger contributor tracking system.

-We were joined in this meeting by the BIDS-ASL BEP leads. We spent the majority of this meeting discussing the [BIDS-ASL](https://bids.neuroimaging.io/bep005) BEP development approach and status along with any open questions they may have. We see a natural integration between the [ASL](https://bids.neuroimaging.io/bep005) and [PET](https://bids.neuroimaging.io/bep009) BEP projects. While talking to the ASL team we found that our definition of `raw` needs to be refined and made more specific. We want to ensure that fields previously specified remain consistent, when possible. Once the raw ASL specification is merged the group will move forward with derivatives.

-
-We began by discussing a proposal for how to handle [Zenodo author lists](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/issues/66). It is important to recognize diverse contributions. The proposal will be calling for two different groups: authors and contributors. An author could be one who pushes substantial contributions or those that regularly answer questions. The key is for these to be sustained expertise contributions. The author order will be alphabetical and an author cannot be removed from the list. We will also support an author section in the specification appendix that can specifically identify their contributions to the project. This can include contributors too. The author section may include the potential for a paragraph (max) narrative of contributions. This will be enhancing our current emoji representation of contributions. This will give the community more opportunity to capture their specific contributions to BIDS.

These have been added to the website. We primarily evaluated the scope and if this is a duplicated effort. It is important for BEPs to signal community engagement and buy-in for their extension proposal from the respective modality community.

-We will be enhancing our [definition of a Maintainer](https://github.com/bids-standard/bids-specification/pull/467) to include a domain they are responsible for maintaining. This will enable more pathways into the Maintainers Group while promoting more diverse contributions. It will additionally build in more resilience and sustainability into our community. This will further clarify the Maintainers role and give more specific responsibilities to a Maintainer. These domains will be proposed and accepted within the Maintainers Group.
